Trump gives Iran a tough ultimatum
President of the United States Donald Trump addressed Iran with a statement in which he gave the country 48 hours to conclude a deal or open the Strait of Hormuz. According to Trump, in case of non-compliance, Iran faces «real hell».
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are growing
The situation in the region is exacerbated by the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of the world's energy resources pass. Blocking the strait could lead to a serious crisis in the global oil markets.
The international community is following the developments
Leaders of the leading countries are calling on the parties to exercise restraint and resolve the conflict diplomatically. However, Trump's ultimatum could lead to an escalation of the situation in the coming hours.
